Hello everyone.

Now, I'm not the most experienced Dom and on top of that I'm a poor college student. My g/f and I went to a Savers store the other day and they had a bunch of Halloween stuff on sale. She pointed out a section that sold toy crops and whips. I could tell that the crops were crap: they had tiny handles for how long they were and were very clumsy. The whips on the other hand were pretty interesting: short small handle with about 6-8 thin fake leather tails. The whole thing was black and pretty cool looking although you could tell it was a toy. But at $2.50 you couldn't beat it so I bought it and we had some fun with it that same night. It doesn't hurt unless you really try to smack someone, and tickles quite a bit when you just run it accross the skin. My g/f loved it and I'll definitely be using it again.

My question is this: this is obviously a cheap, cheap made, not real leather whip, but it provides the fun that we both crave. Is it worth investing into a real whip or should we just stick to this thing for now? Is there a whole lot of difference? What is a real whip supposed to feel like?

Thanks everyone in advance.
